I'm not an apc fan but wisdom teaches that you don't talk everytime just because someone said what you don't like.

learn and be wiser.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN,
on Thursday faulted President Goodluck Jonathan, for
inviting parents of abducted Chibok schoolgirls to the
Presidential Villa for the purpose of sympathising
with them.He described the development as lack of
empathy, saying Jonathan’s leadership style “has re-
defined empathy by inviting the bereaved parents to
the presidential villa for commiseration.”Fashola
stated this in Abuja while delivering a lecture on ‘The
challenge of Democratic Governance’ as part of
activities to mark the 50th birthday celebration of a
former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre
Sylva. He insisted that Jonathan’s attitude was “

Truly
strange and Truly unAfrican”He asked, “How does
this sound? ‘

Hello neighbour, I heard you lost your
child to abductors. Please come and see me at home
so I can sympathise with you’.“This is my
paraphrasing of what has so far transpired.

As if this
was not bad enough, the event had been followed by
another round of lies about whether or not they tried
to give money to the bereaved parents.

For me, it’s a
low point for leadership, it suggests lack of
empathy.”According to him,
“The first lie when the
news of the abduction broke was that all the
abducted girls had been retrieved.

When that was
exposed, the next lie was to raise doubts whether
they were truly missing.

“When that was not enough,
they are now telling us that they know where the
children are.

We are prayerfully waiting that they will
bring the children home.”

Fashola, who had earlier canvassed for the active
involvement of the elite in politics in order to provide
necessary professional skill to drive the nation’s
development, said, “Until recently, we all used to
think that our national development was inhibited by
the fact that we never had a university graduate as
leader of any national government in an executive
capacity.“This perhaps alludes only faintly to the
issue of the elite consensus, but it is not the same.

Thankfully, the myth of graduate leadership as
desirable as it is, has been exploded now.“We have
two graduates (one zoologist and an architect) and I
think the majority of Nigerians will tell you today that
their lives are worse off than they were four years
ago.“So there is more to leadership than a university
degree and educational qualification.

There is
character, vision, courage, empathy, compassion and
many more attributes that you simply will not find in
a classroom or school. They are in homes, in
communities and also in the value system of
society.”Fashola therefore encouraged politicians to
make politics interesting and worth being
participated in by the professional elite.He said,

“Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, it is still
regrettable that the majority of the members of our
political parties and politicians do not yet include the
critical elite of our society.“Whether we like it or not,
history has shown that the elite of any society,
especially its professional cadre, and the very best of
them decide the direction of the nation when they
come to a consensus about the pathway for their
nation, even if they belong to different political
parties.Where are all the people who have built
things with their hands in our society?

Where are the
founders of the big banks, businesses, telecoms in
our body politic?

Are they just content to finance and
yet remain unwilling to take the plunge?

“Are they
willing to identify with the ruling party in Abuja, and
the party in Government in their states when they
get to their bases for fear of reprisals?” he asked.

All manner of deliberate propaganda of lies and mischief has to be rebuked swiftly . . . . The elections are here. . . . .

That is wisdom with the prevailing times . . . .

kendrick93: i dnt tink jona should worry abt fashola.. fashola is just lookin for cheap attension anyway. his just a puppet for his master Tinubu.. if i were jonathan all dis men would hav been in jail by now

Longeria: You must be stupidt to credit the fight against Ebola to Fashola. Who declared state of emergency against Ebola? Fashola abi? Mumu.

datbay: Honestly,am disappointed in fashola,it seems Jonathan is becoming too lenient. These APC governors have no respect for the president.

0rex: Front page with four comments?

anonimi: The Presidency and PDP (two separate & distinct entities) need to continue reacting very quickly to refute & dispel any LIE and PROPAGANDA from the Amunisin (Enslavement) People's Congress, APC before it gains ground among our rumour loving fellow compatriots.

Okupe, Abati, Metuh et al over to you.
They may need to engage full time young, energetic & devoted RESEARCHERS in the field of statistics, economics, political science, engineering etc to ensure their rebuttals are FACT based as much as possible.
We should not allow these supporter of APC people to drag us back and away from the path of progress that the Jonathan/Sambo administration has embarked on.

alentyno: Smh...... These guys are really lucky that someone as soft as GEJ is on that seat.
Imagine fashola bashing OBJ or Buhari like this, him for know how far na. If you think am lying ask atiku why he has been failing to win ordinary primaries for the past 7 yrs

StealthyMe
Jona - Hello Neighbour,sorry oo...Heard you had your children kidnapped

Neighbour - Na so dey take dem oo..**crying**

Jona - Will you kindly come to the villa so i'll sympathise with you.

Heard BRF say this ; though not verbatim but this situation seems true.

dammytosh: The problem with GEJ's camp is that they will never learn.


FASHOLA is trying to teach them how to perform on pages of NEWSPAPER even if they are not doing anything.

Can you imagine the word used, "inactive" That is very funny.

I don't know the sides to take because that is how we queued behind Ribadu and GEJ flew in and struck a deal with Uncle Bola over night,

Fashola is a typical hypocrite. He agreed on subsidy removal with Jonathan in the closet and kept quiet when everything went haywire. That is the little respect Osho Baba still have with me. He will soon exhaust it too sha.

Naija politics enh.

datbay: Honestly,am disappointed in fashola,it seems Jonathan is becoming too lenient. These APC governors have no respect for the president.

algorithmz: Fasohla is revealing what we already know everyone knows the FG is incompetent

BabaO2:
Your statement is annoying and nauseating , who is pissy -pissy for bodi -"atoole" president you so arrogated power to?, me as a Nigerian i dont respect Jonathan. I can slap him one on one I hate him to that level. If not for Obasanjo he can never and never be vice president and president of Nigeria.
